I created a user ftpadmin and a group ftpadmin. I made ftpadmin's home folder /srv/www/htdocs
everything under /htdocs is owned by ftpadmin:ftpadmin
I can now ftp remotely to the /htdocs folder. No problem
Having made these changes I can no longer see any web pages.
What do I need to do to be able to both ftp and see webpages? Who has to own what?
chgrp -R www /srv/www/htdocs chmod -R g+rx /srv/www/htdocs

OK. I can now both use ftp and see web pages. Brilliant. Saved me loads time.
Just one more question. /srv/www/htdocs is now (user:group) ftpadmin:www
Is that correct? Or doesn't it matter.
It is correct. One observation: for a Linux user and website admin you seem to know very little about the Unix permission schemes. Do yourself (and possible users of your site) a favor, and make yourself familiar with these (and other) basics.
